Description

Excerpt from The Date of the Maha Bharata War and the Kali Yugadhi I have gone carefully through all the essays of the occidental and oriental scholars in determining the date of the Maha Bharata War. Those scholars have variously fixed the date ranging from 1919 b.c. To 315 b.c. Most of their ideas are empirical and not a few of them are the product of fanciful imaginatipn or pre-conceived notions. It is now possible dispassionately to determine the correct date with a high degree of accuracy; and this is based on astronomical data and the internal evidence of the _maha Bharata alone: We may in fact justly and properly style the date of the Maha Bharata war; which the science of astronomy has now in controvertibly fixed on 22 Nov. 3067 b.c.; as the true anchor sheet of Indian chronology and history; as every date indicated by Indian astronomy and supported by Ancient Indian Puranic history depends on it.
